September 23, 1950 - April 28, 2023
Following a lengthy battle with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, involving a lung transplant in 2018, Dave passed away peacefully with his family and closest friends by his side. Dave is survived by his loving wife Barb Edgerton. He was a proud father to Chrystalee Davis (Terry), and devoted step-father to Terri-Lynn Corp (Kevin), Jeff Middleton (Brenda) and Rob Middleton (Trish). Dave was a loving Poppa to Riley (Reneé), Zachery & Ethan Holland, Travis Corp (Paula) & Kandis Matthews (Grant), Dylan Middleton (Amanda) & Clayton Middleton (Tosca) and Amanda Payne (Tyler). He was a Great-Poppa to Bowdyn, Shelby & Danika Corp, Jerica, Maci & Harper Matthews, Carly & Lainey Payne, Hunter, Emma & Lucas Middleton. Dave was the son of Bud and Mildred Edgerton (deceased), and brother of Fred Edgerton (Gaile), Doris Passey, Dorothy Edgerton (Howard), predeceased by Don and Claudia Edgerton. He will be missed by several nieces and nephews.
Dave bought Lindsay Dodge in 1990. After selling, he purchased Holiday Ford in 1999 and sold it in 2008. He and Barb became snowbirds, spending much time with friends in Fort Myers. Dave enjoyed life to the fullest. He worked hard so he could party hard. His love of music was enjoyed by all who knew him. He will be missed by his Wednesday morning coffee group, bid euchre buddies and golf partners.
